The massage room at Aya Spa
The massage room is a separate quiet space next to the hammam, so a massage can be booked on its own or added to a hammam on the same visit without passing back through the reception. It is one of the three spaces at the spa, alongside the traditional hammam and the beauty and hair salon. Bookings are taken for a set time, so tell us when you would like to come.
The base oil used in the relaxing treatments is pure argan oil. It can be combined with essential oils of lavender, rose or verbena, and the choice is made when you book or on arrival. These are wellness and beauty treatments: Aya Spa is not a medical spa, and the massages are not therapeutic treatments prescribed by a doctor. Ask for the oil you prefer when you book.
The spa is at 111 Avenue Abdelkrim AL Khattabi, N°44, second floor, in the Guéliz district of Marrakech. The team speaks French, English, Arabic and Spanish, and the spa is open every day from 09:00 to 22:00. Appointments can be taken on WhatsApp, by phone on +212 661 35 59 16, or through the contact form.
The six massage types
There are six types of massage on the list. The relaxing argan oil massage is a gentle full-body massage with pure argan oil, at 250 Dhs for 30 minutes and 400 Dhs for 45 minutes. The tonic, or sports, massage is a deep tissue treatment that relieves muscle tension, at 300 Dhs for 30 minutes and 500 Dhs for 45 minutes.
Two of the six are four-hands massages, carried out by two therapists working together in a synchronised way. The four-hands relaxing massage is 500 Dhs for 30 minutes and 600 Dhs for 45 minutes. The four-hands tonic massage is also 500 Dhs for 30 minutes and 700 Dhs for 45 minutes, with the same deep tissue work as the two-handed tonic massage.
The remaining two are 45-minute treatments aimed at a specific goal. The lymphatic draining massage is 400 Dhs and stimulates circulation while reducing water retention. The slimming massage is 500 Dhs and is targeted, working on fat deposits to help break them down. Both are booked as 45-minute sessions only, and either can be combined with a hammam on the same visit.
Thirty minutes or forty-five minutes
Every massage type except the lymphatic and slimming treatments is offered at two durations, and the two durations cost different amounts. A 30-minute session gives the therapist time to work through the main areas of the back, shoulders and legs. It is the shorter format and the lower price at 250 Dhs for the relaxing argan oil massage. The 45-minute version is the same treatment with fifteen minutes more of it.
A 45-minute session adds fifteen minutes to the treatment time and to the price. The relaxing argan oil massage moves from 250 Dhs to 400 Dhs, the tonic from 300 Dhs to 500 Dhs, the four-hands relaxing from 500 Dhs to 600 Dhs and the four-hands tonic from 500 Dhs to 700 Dhs. The extra time is spent inside the treatment, with the same oil and the same products.
If you are unsure which duration to take, tell us what you want from the massage when you book and we will point you to the treatment and the length that fits. The price list page shows every massage with both durations, and the two downloadable PDFs show the same table offline, together with the hammam and beauty sections. Both PDFs are listed on the price list page and on the services page.
Combining a massage with a hammam
The massage room sits next to the hammam, and most bookings that include both are made on the same day. The Classic Hammam with a 30-minute relaxing massage is 400 Dhs, and the Classic Hammam with a 45-minute relaxing massage is 500 Dhs. Both are set as packs, so the hammam and the massage are booked together under one price.
The Royal Pack is 1200 Dhs and covers the 50-minute Royal Hammam, one hour of massage, a manicure, a pedicure and a facial. If you want a hammam, a massage and beauty work on the same visit, that is the combination to look at first. The price list page has the full range of packs, and two PDFs of it can be downloaded.
Men and women are treated in separate hammam rooms and at separate times, so a couple or a family travelling together should book their hammam slots individually and can then take a massage in the same visit. Book on WhatsApp or by phone on +212 661 35 59 16 and we will arrange the times around each other. The team will check the room schedule before confirming.
